Moving house after planning submission?


Recommended Posts

This is our mistake, but for some reason our architect decided to move the location of our house 2m east from where the original house was planned.  Having looked at the site plan further, we now want to move it back to where it was originally planned.  Will this require a new planning application or could our architect submit something now or after the application has been decided.  The location doesn't impact anyone, as the house will be 8m from the neighbours fence, instead of the proposed 10m.

I would disagree, this was your architects mistake and if it were me I would ask how THEY. are going to resolve it.

Somebody would need to speak to the Planning Officer and whether it will require updated drawings or the withdrawal and re-submission of another application. Bear in mind the latter will attract additional application fees.

And I would suggest that’s the architect.

I spoke with the Architects, and they suggested we left things as they were.  TBH, confidence regarding us getting PP is at an all time low.   On the day of the Case Officer's site visit, he sent her an email addressing the letters of objection.  At the bottom of the email he added a paragraph relating to possible compromises.  I was thoroughly annoyed that he'd basically shown his card hand, before the Case Officer had enough made any comment.

 

At no point too, along the whole journey have they ever made reference to the local planning policy documents, and whether we have any hope in getting what we want.  

 

You definitely get what you pay for, but if we get refused, I'll be binning them off.  Question is, do we hand the reason for refusal to a decent Planning Consultant or do we just find an Architect who specialises in AONB applications.

architects draw pictures of things. 

I think that is where we messed up this time.  They have an in house Planning Consultant, but he only seemed to get involved at PP submission time, to draft the design and access statement, but that wasn't very good, and it didn't even contain photos of the mixed bag of properties along the lane.

Our knew planning policy inside out, they even had staff who were ex council planning officers. 
They knew the planning officer on first name terms, and every time he quoted something she shot him down with a counter argument. 
 

is it too late to withdraw your application and get better advice.
